Creamy Ricotta Pancakes with Honey

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

  Full-fat ricotta is best for toddlers' energy needs.

• 1 large egg

• 2-3 tbsp whole milk

• 1 tsp honey

  ONLY for toddlers 12 months and older.

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour)

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp unsalted butter (for cooking)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese, egg, and milk until smooth and creamy.

2. 2

   Stir in the honey and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   In a separate small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with a small amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil.

6. 6

   Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet.

7. 7

   Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.

8. 8

   Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

9. 9

   Allow to cool to a safe temperature. Serve as they are or cut into bite-sized pieces for easier handling.
